Even the grooms - Rafael, Gabriel and Eduardo - were confused and identified their beautiful brides by the colour of their bouquet.

It was parents Pedro and Salete who suggested the girls all get married together and dad Pedro, a farmer, had to walk all three daughters down the aisle at once.

He said: "We decided that we would all walk down the aisle until half way down the church. From there, I would take one at a time."

The pews at the Nossa Senhora Aparecida catholic cathedral in Passo Fundo were moved apart to allow more space for the three brides to walk down the aisle together.

They were followed by 18 bridesmaids and page boys, each using the chosen colour of the bride they were representing, yellow for Rafaela, blue for Rochele and red for Tagiane.

The first to be taken to the altar by their father was Tagiane, who was the first to be born. She said: "I tried to hold back my emotion, but I couldn't. To see my dad there, at that moment, was a feeling I can't explain."

The sisters said they have always been close and shared the same tastes and interests since they were babies.

Their parents, Pedro and Salete, already had one daughter, Liziele, when they decided to increase the family - but never imagined three more girls would come at once.
